.@emptywheel I think North Korea dumped a big torrent bc they didn’t have resources to read through all the data & knew journalists would.

@emptywheel but that doesn’t eliminate the possibility that it was someone else (even a couple of anon-type hackers) pretending to be NK. -
.
@emptywheel my personal conspiracy theory is S. Korean hackers, to embarrass a Japanese company & pin the blame on NK at the same time. -
.
@emptywheel or it could’ve originally been intended as a blackmail op, but then they dumped the torrent after failing to deliver a demand. -
.
@emptywheel since S. Korea has mandatory military service for men, any # of young kids would have training in defending against NK attacks. -
.
@emptywheel and therefore would be able to impersonate them. That’s the problem: NK is the least sophisticated of the potential hackers. -
.
@emptywheel NK is also the only one who would want to pin the blame on someone else & they were claiming to be disgruntled employees first. -
.
@emptywheel I think the Feds aren’t lying to us about having evidence that NK is responsible, bc I also think they’re the most likely ones. - 4 more replies
